:lol: that's awesome.

Dammit, if it weren't for their jihadi tendencies, these guys could be Americans. Kentuckians, more specifically. :D

Like they say, necessity is the mother of all inventions. But if there was ever a clear indicator that your society has reached new depths, having to build one of these and hoping it doesn't break down on you before you are killed in it fighting a T-72 is indeed that indicator.

Looks like you could destroy that thing with a DShK or M2. I'd think a Hi-Lux full of dudes with RPGs would be far more useful against Assad's armor. That monstrosity is just target practice for BMPs.

Tank driven using a Playstation...how cool! Just one question? Are there any cheat codes???

This reminds me of an incident back in '03 in which some Cuban's were caught off the coast of Florida in a raft built using the body of an 1951 Chevy pickup truck! The pisser is they were sent back to Cuba. They make a Chevy float and get sent back to Cuba but if they can throw a damn baseball they get sent to the majors... Pardon me, but how ****ed up! I'd rather this country have more engineers than more athletes.

I don't think it is meant to fight against other tanks or APCs. Looks like protection against small arms. The armor is pretty thick. Who knows how hardened it is. That much hardened steel would be darn heavy.

Totally. It's a death box, but it's an awesome barn-door engineered death box.

Not sure what vehicle that was built up from, but I am willing to bet it's a Toyota pickup.

They really need to start advertising that. I've lost count of the number of Toyota pickups I've seen being used as military/rebel vehicles with rocket launchers, 40mm cannons and other rather heavy weapons mounted to them and they handle it really well.
